medium businesses and enterprises, providing unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility for band, the DWL-6610AP allows you to deploy more devices and provide greater throughput for your wireless clients.
Greater Reach and Flexibility The DWL-6610AP provides unparalleled connectivity by using a 2 x 2 antenna implementation, allowing high combined data rates of 1167 Mbps (867 Mbps2 for 802.11ac, and 300 Mbps2 for 802.11n) over the air. With Wireless AC technology, the DWL-6610AP provides high-

Centrally Managed When working in conjunction with D-Link Unified Controllers, the DWL-6610AP can be centrally managed. This allows for a large number of APs to be deployed and managed easily and efficiently. Once the APs are discovered by the controller, the administrator can push configuration to them as a group, instead of doing so individually. Additionally, Radio Frequency (RF) resource management allows wireless coverage to be managed centrally, proving the best coverage possible for wireless clients.
Self-Configuring Cluster For small businesses that need to deploy multiple APs but lack the resources for complex network management, the DWL-6610AP self-configuring cluster allows a small number of DWL-6610AP access points to be set to form a self-configuring cluster. Once the administrator configures one access point, the same configuration can then be applied to all remaining APs, making setting up your wireless business network a breeze.
DWL-6610AP Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Unified Access Point Performance Upgrade The DWL-6610AP features an upgraded CPU, providing increased performance over its predecessor. The internal omnidirectional antenna extends its reach, eliminating dead spots and filling hard-to-reach places. Bandsteering technology enables the DWL-6610AP to balance the load between its two radios rather than forcing all users onto the 2.4 GHz band, allowing for smooth streaming of video, seamless browsing, and fast downloads for mobile devices. Airtime fairness ensures that equal airtime is given to each client, providing increased performance even if slower devices are connected.
Automatic RF Management When access points are deployed in close proximity to each other, there may be interference between channels if RF management is not implemented. When a DWL-6610AP senses a neighbour nearby, it will automatically select a non-interfering channel. This greatly reduces RF interference and will allow the administrator to deploy APs more densely. To further minimise interference, when a nearby AP is on the same channel, the DWL-6610AP will automatically lower its transmission power1. When, for whatever reason, the nearby AP is no longer present, the DWL-6610AP will increase its transmission power to expand coverage.
Quality of Service The DWL-6610AP supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced throughput and better performance of time-sensitive traffic like VoIP and streaming DSCP. The DWL-6610AP supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), so in the event of network congestion, time-sensitive traffic can be given priority ahead of other traffic. Furthermore, when a number of DWL-6610AP units are in close proximity to each other, an access point will refuse new association requests once its resources are fully utilised, allowing the association request to be picked up by a neighbouring unit, distributing the load over multiple APs.

This feature is available when Unified AP is used in conjunction with D-Link’s line of Unified Wireless Switches/controllers. Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11 and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
